194 bars at 240 BPM -- fast, and 3:14 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
ride through bars 1-6, hi-hat through bars 7-9, ride through bars 10-32, toms through bars 33-34, ride through bars 35-40 and toms through bars 41-44, and 19 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11-13, 15-16 and 19-21, and 7 more places -- 17% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 77 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
